The Graduate School of Education and Professional Development at Marshall University offers Master of Arts degrees in both Elementary and Secondary Education with a wide array of areas of emphasis. These programs do not provide initial teacher licensure, and thus are designed for students who already hold licensure in West Virginia. Students in the Education, M.A. program complete a set of core course requirements, area of emphasis courses, and a capstone experience.
